The 22-250 Remington has been putting coyotes down for decades, and there's a reason it's still a favorite in predator country. It's flat, it's fast, and it's easy on the shoulder for long days behind the glass. The Savage Axis 2 XP wraps that cartridge in a no-nonsense package rifle, with a factory-mounted and boresighted 3-9×40 scope featuring fully multi-coated lenses and tool-free windage and elevation adjustments. You'll still want to fine-tune zero with your ammo of choice, but the heavy lifting of mounting and leveling is already done.
The big one is the AccuTrigger. It's user adjustable from about 2.5 to 6 pounds, breaks clean with no creep, and it's a genuine standout in this class of rifle. The redesigned Axis 2 stock is a step up too, with better texturing where your hands land, an updated pistol grip with palm swells on both sides, and a reworked bolt handle that's easier to run with cold or gloved hands. Savage's thread-in headspacing and button-rifled 22-inch sporter barrel handle the accuracy side, and the 1:12 twist is right at home with the 50 to 55 grain varmint bullets most people feed a 22-250 anyway.
The fixed gray synthetic stock shrugs off weather and knocks, and the matte black carbon steel barrel and receiver keep glare down when you're set up on a fence line. A detachable 4-round box magazine makes loading and unloading quick, and the tang-mounted two-position safety sits right under your thumb. At 42.5 inches overall with a 13.75-inch length of pull, it carries and shoulders like a proper hunting rifle should.
Package rifles get a bad rap sometimes, but this one earns its keep. You get a legitimately good trigger, a rugged stock, proven Savage barrel work, and glass already sitting on top. For a first centerfire, a truck gun, or a dedicated varmint rig that doesn't need babying, the Axis 2 XP in 22-250 checks the boxes without any fuss.
The 3-9×40 scope comes factory mounted and boresighted, which gets you on paper at the range. Boresighting is a starting point though, not a final zero, so plan on burning a few rounds to dial it in with the ammo you'll be hunting with. The scope has fully multi-coated lenses and tool-free windage and elevation turrets, so adjustments are quick.
Yes, that's one of the best features on this rifle. Savage's AccuTrigger is user adjustable from roughly 2.5 to 6 pounds, and it takes just a few minutes with the included spanner-style adjustment. It also breaks clean with essentially no creep, which is rare in this price tier of hunting rifle.
The 22-250 is a classic varmint and predator cartridge, ideal for coyotes, foxes, prairie dogs, and groundhogs. It's extremely flat shooting with very light recoil, which makes long range sessions comfortable. The 1:12 twist barrel on this rifle is set up for the lighter 50 to 55 grain bullets that make up the bulk of 22-250 factory loads.
Absolutely. The receiver is drilled and tapped, so upgrading to a higher-end optic down the road is straightforward. A lot of folks run the included scope for a season or two and then move up as their needs change, which makes this a solid platform to grow with.
